Analyzing Sunday’s Baltimore Orioles at Chicago White Sox odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Baltimore Orioles (8-7) and Chicago White Sox (6-9) finish a 3-game set at Guaranteed Rate Field Sunday. First pitch is at 2:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Orioles vs. White Sox odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 1-1

The teams split the first 2 games of the series with Baltimore winning 6-3 Friday and Chicago sneaking out a 7-6 win in 10-innings Saturday. The Orioles scored a run in the top of the 10th to take the lead, but the White Sox plated 2 in the bottom half to steal it.

The White Sox snapped a 3-game losing skid Saturday. They’ve dropped 4 of their last 6 contest and are 2-3 at home. They receive a jolt with their ace on the mound Sunday. RHP Dylan Cease has struck out 24 batters in 16 1/3 innings to open his Cy Young Award campaign.

Orioles at White Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

White Sox 5, Orioles 4

Moneyline

With the Orioles having a player making his 3rd-career start, I’m going to side with the White Sox and Cease. It’s not a strong feeling, but the momentum Chicago harnessed in extra innings should carry over Sunday. Only try to win a HALF-UNIT with WHITE SOX (-145).

Run line/Against the spread

The White Sox have the worst bullpen ERA in baseball at 7.32. That’s what makes this game so dicey even with Cease on the bump.

PASS on the spread.

OF Cedric Mullins is 4-for-10 (.400) lifetime against Cease. He’s also on a 4-game hitting streak. I’ll try to win a HALF-UNIT on CEDRIC MULLINS OVER 0.5 HITS (-165).

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

The wind is fiercely blowing out toward the left-field foul pole at 24 mph. There’s a 58% chance of rain, too. The Over is 7-0 in Cease’s last 7 home starts against teams with a winning record. The Over is 6-0-1 in Chicago’s last 7 home games as well.

Take the OVER 7.5 (-110).

Orioles at White Sox projected starters

RHP Kyle Gibson vs. RHP Michael Kopech

Gibson (3-0, 3.44 ERA) makes his 4th start. He has a 1.15 WHIP, 2.0 BB/9 and 5.9 K/9 through 18 1/3 IP.

Orioles at White Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 5, White Sox 3

Moneyline

While the White Sox have the pitcher with more upside in this matchup, Kopech hasn’t shown much consistency in the early portion of the season. The ORIOLES (-115) have a good shot to secure a win with Gibson on the mound — and improve to 4-0 in his starts this season — if he can go at least 5 innings.

Run line/Against the spread

ORIOLES -1.5 (+140) has some decent value with the White Sox sputtering in recent games. Kopech has struggled with walks and that could lead to runs against an Orioles team that is tied for the league lead with 21 stolen bases.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 9 (-105).

Despite the Orioles swinging a hot bat, the White Sox have failed to generate consistent runs with SS Tim Anderson on the injured list. The Under is 6-0-1 in the last 7 meetings in Chicago and 6-1-1 in the last 8 meetings overall.

Baltimore Orioles at Chicago White Sox odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Baltimore Orioles at Chicago White Sox odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Baltimore Orioles (32-39) face the Chicago White Sox (33-35) Friday in the 2nd of a 4-game set at Guaranteed Rate Field. First pitch is set for 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Orioles vs. White Sox odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Baltimore leads 1-0 after they won 4-0 Thursday night.

The O’s are better than expected thus far and are 6-4 in the last 10 against quality teams. Rookie former No. 1 overall pick DH Adley Rutschman has provided a spark as he went 2-for-4 with a HR and 3 RBI Thursday. He has hits in 6 of his last 7 games with 7 extra-base hits during the stretch.  Second-year OF Austin Hays is quietly hitting .287 with 10 homers and 40 RBI.

The White Sox are still trying to figure themselves out as they have a lot of talent in a weak division, but they can’t string many wins together. They are 14-16 in the last 30 games. Three regulars are hitting over .300 in SS Tim Anderson (.354), DH Andrew Vaughn (.330) and OF Luis Robert (.300).

Orioles at White Sox projected starters

RHP Austin Voth vs. RHP Michael Kopech

Voth (1-1, 8.39 ERA) makes his 2nd start of the season and appears in his 24th game. He has a 2.03 WHIP, 2.9 BB/9 and 9.1 K/9 in 24 2/3 innings.

  • Has 3 1/3 straight scoreless innings in last 2 appearances.
  • Had a 10.13 ERA with the Washington Nationals before coming to Baltimore where he has a 3.00 ERA.
  • Features a fastball (94-mph avg), cutter and curveball, but has had trouble locating them as opposing hitters are hitting at least .333 off each pitch.

Kopech (2-3, 2.38 ERA) makes his 13th start of the season. He has a 0.99 WHIP, 4.0 BB/9 and 8.7 K/9 in 56 2/3 innings.

  • Has as much arm talent as anyone in baseball, but the walks and injuries continue to haunt him.
  • Pitches better at home with a 1.57 ERA and 0.73 WHIP vs. 3.21 ERA and 1.25 WHIP on road.
  • His fastball is down from 97-mph avg. to 95 mph this year. Hitters still have just a .165 BA off of it.

Orioles at White Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

White Sox 4, Orioles 2

Money line

It’s 83 degrees with no chance for rain and a slight, 5.6-mph breeze blowing in. Baltimore might have to count on a bullpen game as Voth only went 41 pitches in his first start for them. So there are a lot of signs leaning to the White Sox. However, we’re not paying -170 for a team this inconsistent that was just shut out by the Orioles. I’d much rather take the WHITE SOX FIRST 9 INNINGS (-145).

Run line/Against the spread

The White Sox had a pair of 1-run victories over Toronto recently, but their previous 4 wins were by 2 or more runs. Kopech is the x-factor here if he can limit the damage with the amount of free passes he allows. His home ERA sheds optimism there, and we’ll LEAN WHITE SOX -1.5 (+122).

Over/Under

This could go either way with Kopech’s control and Baltimore’s bullpen game. The Under is 4-0 in Baltimore’s last 4 games. The Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between the teams in Chicago. Again it’s just a lean because of the unpredictability of the pitching, but LEAN UNDER 8.5 (+100).
